Elon Musk is one of the most powerful men in the world. He's a billionaire, the founder of SpaceX, Tesla and more. To his followers, he's a hero; to his critics, a far-right rabble rouser. But for someone so public, there’s one part of his life that’s less well known. Elon’s Spies investigates how this free-speech champion uses private investigators and surveillance to target everyone from whistleblowers at his companies, to online critics and people in his own life.

A hit piece
22 Oct
A hit piece on Musk that is politically motivated. Listened to the first one and lost interest. It’s weak and who cares if the world’s richest man has private detectives.
Essential listening
10 Sept
Yet another thoughtful, sensitive, and thorough investigation by Tortoise — who are quickly becoming my favourite podcasting co. Truly eye-opening stuff on a very pressing matter that is shaping our world without many of us even realising it.
Waste of everyone’s time

Why have i spent hours of my life listening to your efforts to humiliate a man whose ego was wrestling his decency. Whether he deserves it or not i have no idea but it feels like you’ve taken advantage of someone while they were down. You haven’t invested corporate espionage or asbestos, and you completely failed to shine a light on the leads he created. The journalism is disappointing, and while you’ve said ‘it doesn’t matter if we believe you’, it does - you put yourselves in the centre of the story as judge, jury and controller of the whole narrative. Appreciate you spent years doing it so you probably felt you had to get something out but it’s hardly investigative
